just a while ago she was adamantly against drilling oil to use for gasoline for autos, now she's drilling union money.
$200 billion at least, Autos for everyone is at least as important as cheap mortgages for the undeserving.
He said that there is no need to do anything for the auto industry. Do not spend one dime on them.
Instead take all of the CAFE rules off the industry and they will make money.
He pointed out that GM is profitable in all of their overseas operations and losing money here because of our brilliant people in DC.
He pointed out that Buick is one of the most popular cars in SA.
Ford has a car that gets 65 miles to the gallon in Europe, but US regulations will not allow it to be sold in the US.
This country is screwed up so bad that we don't even know how bad we are screwed up.
both candidates have to be for it.
bailing out the unions and mismanagement makes me angry.
From the people who brought you Fannie and Freddie...
>Ford has a car that gets 65 miles to the gallon in Europe, but US regulations will not allow it to be sold in the US.<
i heard that, and why is that?
yep.
right on the heels.
fanny and freddy are holdovers from the franklin roosevelt era, renamed.
i heard that, and why is that?
It's a diesel, and emissions regulations prevent many diesel automobiles from being sold here in the U.S.
yeah, i know. bill handel on kfi am 640 discussed it also this morning.
wouldn’t that be an
ideal campaign issue?
Drill, Baby, Drill!
200 years ago, when this country was started, someone noted that a democracy will exist until the people discover they can vote themselves ‘largesse’ from the public treasury.
Plus, it is a hornet's nest full of union thugs.
The only thing the Democrats care about are the electoral votes in Michigan. By not allowing drilling for oil in America, they have already told the workers to go to heck.
These idiots in DC are costing many jobs when they refuse to address the domestic oil issue. A local factory is closing its doors here in JC and undoubtedly the liberals will try to blame the economy & President Bush instead of their man-made petroleum shortage. McCain and Palin need to start driving this point home that the Democrat’s policies are not only costing the taxpayers via higher fuel costs but also by costing us good paying jobs. Here is a link to the story in the local paper.

Thew best thing they can do in DC is to butt out and let us drill our own oil!

Buick is popular in South America?
nancy pelosi’s so useless,
that you’d think someone in the democrat plantation would
notice and demand something more effective.
pelosi’s a help to the pubbies.
that’s the truth.
the democrats don’t care one iota for the “working person”.
I don’t think McCain is for giving them govt aid but rather to cut taxes across the board. We had this debate before in Michigan. Romney was for spending lots of money for the automobile industry but McCain didn’t go for it.
If they just rescinded some of their previous regulations it would do the trick.
